Anytime you are with a horse, no matter if you are a daily rider or one who just gets a chance to ride to the mailbox, you are interacting with your horse. It is all about the quality of the communication, not the quantity. Doing something right once in a while will far surpass anything done wrong more often.
Buck BrannamanWhen you see a horse thatโs troubled, you sort of feel sorry for them, yet that doesnโt mean that you wouldnโt still ask the horse to behave and find a way to fit in and respond to you as well.
Buck BrannamanA horse that has made a positive change in his behavior needs an opportunity to 'soak', to concentrate on & digest what he has learned. He needs his quiet time. Given this opportunity, his response will be better the next time you work with him.
Buck BrannamanMy horse needs to be quiet enough not to draw my attention. You want your horse always aware of you. Be aware of your horse! Fidgeting? Direct that! Think of it as a gift. Do something with that energy; redirect it or it will be a negative. Don't let your horse check-out. A horse wants peace. Trade movement for peace.
Buck BrannamanIf the human isnโt responsible for their role in the horse human relationship, horses just donโt get along very well. So thatโs why I say itโs all about the human meeting the bill to fit the horse in any given situation. But donโt expect the horse to always fit the human.
